Polaris Introduces Sportsman and Outlaw 110 EFI Youth Models

Minneapolis, April 7, 2015– Polaris Industries Inc. (NYSE: PII), the leading manufacturer of off-road vehicles (ORVs), today introduced the Sportsman 110 EFI and Outlaw 110 EFI youth models as part of the company’s continuing innovation of its off-road product offerings. The new models are the first youth ATVs to offer EFI and will be available in dealerships in May.

The Sportsman and Outlaw 110 EFI youth models will replace the current Sportsman and Outlaw 90 models and include an upgraded 110cc engine for improved off-road performance and Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) for easier cold starting, reduced maintenance and improved run and idle quality. Both models will be classified as Y-10+ for riders 10 years old and older with adult supervision. The vehicles’ speed is limited to less than 15 mph/24.1 kph as delivered, and the speed control system allows adults to increase the speed to a maximum of up to 29 mph/47 kph. The Sportsman 110 EFI will be available in Sage Green while the Outlaw 110 EFI in Voodoo Blue.

Polaris is the industry leader in youth off-road vehicles and leads the way in promoting youth rider safety. The Sportsman and Outlaw 110 EFI will continue to offer a wide variety of safety features such as an adjustable throttle limiter to enable adults to set a maximum speed control limit, daytime running lights to increase daytime visibility, full floorboards and heat shields. Other vehicle features include an electric start, automatic transmission, 4-stroke engine, and long travel suspension. Similar to all other Polaris youth models purchased from an authorized dealer, the Sportsman and Outlaw 110 EFI also come with a high visibility whip flag and safety video. All Polaris youth vehicles also come with a DOT-approved helmet (two for the RZR 170 EFI) to help teach kids the importance of wearing the proper safety gear.

Along with the Sportsman and Outlaw 110 EFI, Polaris will continue to offer the Outlaw 50, classified as Y-6+, for riders 6 years old and older; the entry-level Phoenix 200, classified as T, for for riders 14 and older; and the RZR 170 EFI side-by-side for riders 10 years old and older.

Polaris Youth model ORVs lead the way with safety features which make them one of the best-selling youth lines available. Adult supervision is required for all riders under 16. Polaris strongly encourages anyone operating an ORV to take appropriate training. In the United States, the ATV Safety Institute’s RiderCourse training is available through the SVIA, at ATVsafety.org or 800-887-2887. The ROV E-Course and hands-on DriversCourse (for SxS vehicles like the RZR 170) are available through ROHVA, at rohva.org or 866-267-2751.

Harbor Frieght Folding Trailer

I’m thinking about picking up one of those 4×8 Harbor Freight folding trailers and was wondering if anyone has any experience with them? Apparently they are rated for 1195lbs of payload. I can get one with a 25% off coupon for $224.98. I need it to fold since I’m limited on space, and I was just thinking it would be nice to throw my Rancher on that and I’ll still have my pickup bed for gear and what not that I can keep dry with my tonneau cover. Obviously coming from Harbor Freight it will need to have a few things upgraded to be safe, mainly wheel bearings, but other than that its just a trailer, which is a little hard to screw up I would think.

Tire debate

Hey guys I need help!! I just recently sold my tires and I’m trying to figure out whether I want to go back to running vampires or swap it up and run the bear claw htrs..and I’m going with 27"

Anyone using the Kolpin Outfitter box?

I have an 06 800 and I seem to be turning into my group’s mule so I want to upgrade my homemade plywood box to something better.
I have a general idea of the dimensions of the Outfitter, but I am curious as how it "feels" to others. Is it to big and bulky, cumbersome, etc..
Any input is appreciated.

Looking into a 570 sportsman

I currently own a 05 Yamaha Big Bear and 05 Kodiak 450 which I have not put a dime into besides normal maintenance or things I wanted to do and these things have been ridden pretty hard. The big bear is a little too slow for me and I’m looking at getting something new this fall or next spring. I would hands down get a Grizzly 700 if I could round up the extra money. I have never really been a Polaris fan but have been looking into the new 570 base model. All I can find is how many problems they have basically brand new which makes me not want to get one. I like a few things that Polaris does though and I like the power of the 570 compared to the Yamahas. I’d be doing a lot of trail riding with a little bit of everything in terms of terrain. I’d just like to know if its worth getting or not, I take care of my stuff but is ridden pretty hard and just like to ride not fix them as much.

05 Scrambler 500 HO – lost a tiny washer

So, I was rebuilding my carb. I noticed that apparently the BST-40 (?) on this particular quad has I believe the pilot air screw hidden under a plug. So I drilled it out and pulled the plug to remove the screw so the carb bath wouldn’t ruin the rubber o-ring and the passage could be cleaned. All went well, except I somehow managed to lose the tiny little washer that was between the spring and the o-ring on this screw. It might have gone down the drain with the ultrasonic bath water, not sure. Anyway, since I guess no one was ‘supposed’ to be messing with this screw, there’s no part information on the breakdown on the parts sites like Partzilla, etc. So my question is, does anyone happen to know where I might find an OEM Mikuni part number for that washer, or its specs so I can grab something at the hardware store? Perhaps another bike that used the same carb and didn’t cover this particular screw? I’m a little worried about trying to just find something that seems to fit. Searching for BST-40 really only seems to return the ‘bible’ for it, without much other help that I can find.

Steep descents and constant banging

Hi

So I have been working on trails on my property and am on a very steep section. When I go down I generally am not applying throttle – maybe just a little. Too fast for my comfort level otherwise. The machine bangs and clicks pretty loudly most of the way down. Is this normal? I’ve read that this happens occasionally – but the whole way down? It’s a ’15 570 eps.
